I never really had a passion for anything. Now that I think about it I have a passion for graduating. I have a passion for this because I been going to school mostly my whole life and this is the moment that proves you accomplished something. I don't want to graduate to be honest because I am goin to really miss Thurgood Marshall Academy. I had to many memories, good and bad, but that's what made this experience special. Another passion I have that I came across is to make people happy even when I am not happy myself. I just love to see a person smile, especially if their smile is because of me. Knowing I can brighten someone's day brightens my day. I know people may not believe this, but it's only because people do not really know me. So this is me and this is my passion.

This school year is quickly coming to an end. I can honestly say I had a great experience in Thurgood Marshall Academy. It made me the young man that I am today. I had a crazy transition in Thurgood from a terrible student to a good student. I went from from having 55's all across my report card to mostly 80's and 90's. I'm nervous about leaving highschool and goin into the "real world". Besides the way I feel, I know I will do good because of the person I am. I may be a very playful guy, but when I need to get serious there's not a problem with that. I just cannot believe I am about to graduate because I was just in 9th grade like yesterday. I hope my college experience goes the way I want and I hope it is a very exciting experience. There's nothing left to say, but thank you and good bye to TMA. 

In class we have been writing an essay on gender roles on the play "A midsummer night's dream". I like the topic, but i been having some difficulty comparing it to the play. We already did our outline, introduction and some body paragraphs. The first draft is due tomorrow and I'm glad because I need help with my essay. Other than that the play is quite hard to understand, but WT helped us put it in our own lango. So I have gotten a better understanding, but its hard to relate it to gender roles. This essay will be hard, but I know I will do a good job on it.

On wensday, my senior class and I went to Abyssinian church for a "senior conference". I learned a lot there and had a good time. My favorite part was the sex Ed class. It wasn't actually called sex Ed , it was actually called sex health. I went to the coed one at the end of the day. The people giving the presentation did a real good job and were very honest. They also answered everyone's question and did not judge us. The teachers were also very informative and I couldn't ask for a better 45min class on sex Ed because we got through a lot. One thing we really didn't talk about was pregnancy. I honestly didn't really care about what they had to say about pregnancy. Even though I should, I don't.

I think I got senioritis. I'm just so tired of doing work now. I have no idea why I am like this now. I think I'm just going to graduate but I'm also kind of scared too. As the days go by and we keep getting work, I am becoming more lazy and more exhausted. Just because I feel this way does not mean I am not Goin to do my work. I will still strive for a higher average but it's just going to be hard. Also it's getting hot outiside so I'm going to have to stay focused with my school work. I'm also nervous about college. I have no idea what I am going to do. Whether I'm going right away or if I'm going to take a semester off. Hopefully I can decide soon because it's becoming crunch time. 

We are approximately 100 days away from being highschool graduates. I don't even know how to feel. It felt as if time went by to fast. It was like yesterday I was just in ninth-grade. I don't even know what I want to do after I get out of high school but that's probably just because I'm scared because I don't want to grow up.I know I have to but is just scary but I know I will take up the responsibilities and be successful in life because that's just the type of person I am and I get things done no matter what the problem is. Honestly I don't even know if I'm going to college right after high school , I might take a semester off because of personal reasons. Don't know if that's a good idea because it might make me not want to go to college at all. But I know if I don't go then my life will be as successful as it could be.but with the help from my mom and my sister I know I'll be good in life.

One of my favorite classes is physical education. I love having physical education because it is very fun. I love it even more now since I'm a senior. That's because we don't do nothing anymore so we have free time. And for free time me and the guys mostly just play full-court basketball. The reason why love physical education so much is because when we play basketball without referees we get to do whatever we want which makes the game more fun and sometimes even more competitive. Also I love physical education because I am a very athletic person and I love to stay in shape. My body may not look like it's in shape but I can do a lot that people don't think I can do. I also love physical education because my physical education teacher is a really cool guy that is more than a teacher but also a friend and not to forget my first ever coach. Playing with my gym teacher for basketball team was a great first experience because that was my first time ever playing under the whistle. Not only was it a gray springs but I also did a very good job with my other teammates. So the real reason why love Gym is because it helps keep me occupied And makes me feel better when I'm down
